The Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services, and Transport bid farewell to its Director of Transport, Faranisese Kinivuwai, last Friday.

Kinivuwai assumed the position of Director of Transport in 2021. A lawyer by profession, she ascended to a leadership role in a traditionally male-dominated sector, breaking gender barriers and inspiring other women with similar interests.

Her responsibilities included overseeing policy and planning in the transport and maritime sectors, which she successfully executed during her tenure.

At the farewell services held at Walu Bay, Kinivuwai expressed gratitude for the support received during her term.

Though she faced a few challenges, her commitment and passion were always there to do her work.

It is believed she has resigned to pursue other opportunities, as the Ministry also welcomes its new permanent secretary, Paula Baleilevuka.
